Default Video of 408 SS at idle

Can anyone tell me how to adjust my dad's camera? It shrunk the videos as you can see. Oh yea, dont hate on my dirty Corsa tips, I havent been able to clean them lately.




Thanks,
Randy_S

I know you do! I have been watching your build closely and your old build. For now it still has MTI stage IIR heads "old style", HPE E cam, forged stuff for future spray, FAST 90, and a few other little things. Its not as nice as yours YET but made my xmas vacation home enjoyable!

By the way Beard, your car is very nicely done.

Will do! I will be home for good in another month and will be going to the track to see what she can do. I want to swap out my 1 3/4" FLPs for some 1 7/8" Kooks. I also want heads but need to stop soon and finish another car at the same time. Right now I just have 18" DRs on it but am going to be looking for some skinnies and slicks and will probably let someone else make a pass who has had some seat time in a 6 speed within the last two years that I have been gone. Later man,

Mike, you might remember the car. My dad and I came in on a dyno day about 2 years ago and the number 7 cylinder let go during a pull. It has since been fixed. Thanks for the compliments and yall did a great job on Beard's buildup.

Yea it did! I wish I could make my golf cart look like that! That dog is doing good to be standing as old as she is these days. I love the sound of the idle with the cats removed. Still wish I could figure out how to fix the video.

Thanks again, I just wish I could either fix the video or take a class on fiberglas so I could make a body for my golfcart! The car gets lopier when the motor is warm, that was on a cold start and only for about 4 minutes total.

John, your gonna have to help me thrash the new clutch when I get home since I have been here for 2 years. I know you have been shifting pretty quick times lately. I still say that we are gonna have to bind and drag Ross out of the house to get him to go but I have no problem doing that to him.

By the way, be on the lookout for a set of Weld draglites for me. I am wanting some 16"s so I dont have to grind as much and want 10" wide.

Just wait until I build the FFR Cobra...you're likely to become an expert in tail-lights.

It's gonna be tough to re-skin the V6 Taurus ...

Looking forward to your return Randy ... we need to run the cars once you have your clutch worked out.

Is there a turbo kit out yet for that mini-van?
